Enniscorthy

Enniscorthy (Inis Corthaidh in Irish) is the third largest town in County Wexford in the Republic of Ireland (Pop. town & environs 8,964 – source 2002 Census CSO). It is situated on the River Slaney in the centre of the county, 24 km north of the county town, Wexford. The town lies on the N11 road (part of European route E1) from Dublin to Wexford and on the Dublin – Wexford – Rosslare Europort railway line. People from Enniscorthy are colloquially known as “scalders”.

The name Inis Corthaidh derives from the Irish Gaelic word for island (Inis) and what is thought to be an ancient personal name (Corthaidh). The town is situated at the tidal extreme of the River Slaney which is no doubt the reason its being settled originally. The river has gouged steep sides in surrounding rock over the millennia to create the distinctive hilly feel of the town that makes it eminently photogenic.
